Dead Space 3 not reading on Xbox 360

Ever since this game came out earlier this week, I've been having this problem, whenever I put either disc 1 or disc 2 into my xbox, it'll either come up with a disc read error, or act like there isn't a game in it at all and just have the option to open the disc tray. At first I thought it was my xbox, but that doesn't seem to be the case, it still plays all my other games normally, and I also traded Dead Space 3 back to Gamestop for a different copy. I was able to get this copy working for a short time, but when I turned it on the next morning, the same problem started happening again. Is there anything I can do about this or do I have to go out and buy a new xbox?

    Hi dreadbalthazar!

    Sounds very basic, but did you tried to clean your xbox lense? If you have the same issue with a different disc, it can't be related to the DvD of DSIII.

    I had an issue last year with an misaligned Xbox leanse, their techsupport re-aligned the leanse and it worked fine then. I had only issues with newer games.

    Anyway, let's see if some gamedata are corrupt.

    To get sure that no corrupt data causing your issue, you should clear your cache:

    1. From the dashboard, click on My Xbox.
    2. Select System Settings.
    3. Select Storage.
    4. Highlight Hard Drive Device.
    5. Press Y to select Device Options, then Clear System Cache.
    6. Reboot your console.

    Redownload the updates for the game. NOTE: Not all games have a Title Update File.

    1. From the Dashboard, click on My Xbox.
    2. Select System Settings.
    3. Select Storage.
    4. Select Hard Drive Device by pressing A.
    5. Select Games and Apps.
    6. Select Game Title.
    7. Delete Title Update File.
    8. Restart Game.
    9. Download the update when prompted.

    Please keep us updated!

  • Tried this already and still freezing.  What is the problem?

  • I logged in this morning and i hit "Play Dead Space 3" andit shows me black screen, but i can exit and play dead space 1 and other games? Why not dead space 3? Thats like the best besides the first

    Help me.

    If you guys finda fix that would be great

    Hopefully Xbox live will make a fix for it.

    It worked all the time until today.

    I cant stand it.

    I'll sit there for an hour, aaand nothing!
